Maccabi Haifa's first major move since hiring Bernie Fine as a consultant is called into question

The Maccabi Haifa basketball team, which plays in the Israeli professional league, is raising eyebrows with hiring of its new coach.

The club announced the hiring of former Radford University coach Brad Greenberg. Greenberg was given a 5-year show cause sanction by the NCAA after the school was found to have committed NCAA violations and then Greenberg tried to mislead the NCAA's investigators.

The hiring of Greenberg is Maccabi Haifa's first major personnel move since the team's owner, Jeff Rosen, brought on former Syracuse University assistant coach Bernie Fine as a consultant.
